This document summarizes training offered by Rovertech International Inc. on observational techniques and behavior analysis for law enforcement. The training is led by retired US Customs Supervisory Inspector Prospero Ellis, who developed revolutionary behavior profiling methods. The training teaches officers how to use body language, physiological responses, and questioning to detect deception and distinguish nervous but innocent people from criminals like terrorists and drug smugglers. The training is offered at basic, intermediate, and advanced levels and has helped intercept illegal drugs and apprehend criminals for various law enforcement agencies.

2. “Body Language”
Used to be something that teen-agers studied on first
dates. But in the wake of September 11, the science
of spotting nervous or threatening deceptive behav-
ior, is gaining new found respect among law enforce-
ment officials, particularly as a way to prevent “acts
of terrorism” & detect any type of illicit activity,
such as “drugs and money smuggling”.
“Observation Techniques” &
“Behavior Analysis Training”
US Customs Agents have been receiving this type of
training since the early 1980s, and in 1999 they were
asked by then Commissioner Raymond Kelly, to step
up their use of “Behavior Profiling” in part to combat
accusations of racial profiling.
Rather than selecting people to be interviewed / in-
terrogated based on what they look like, Customs
Agents have been trained to observe how and what
they do, and ask relevant questions to increase their
“fear of detection” level.
And during interview/interrogation, instead of just
listening for inconsistencies in what is said, they look
for minute physiological and psychological changes
and reactions. Terrorists, drug smugglers behave
differently than legitimate people!

ELLIS
On your Team!
Now your Team can learn how to implement the uniquely effective detec-
tion and interdiction techniques no one teaches better than Prospero Ellis, the
internationally renowned retired US Customs Supervisory Inspector who:
 While at Miami International Customs, conceived, developed and im-
plemented the revolutionary Rover Team Concept, which streamlines
passenger inspection flow by identifying inconsistencies in behavior
patterns , with increased speed and accuracy of that minute percentage
of individuals who may require closer scrutiny, interview, detection and
possibly apprehension.
 In 1981, he created, wrote and was selected by then US Customs Com-
missioner William Van Raab to travel to all major US Customs Ports of
Entry to create, implement, train and guide “Rover Teams.”
 The “Rover Teams” are specialized Anti-Narcotics Units trained in the
application of “Behavior Analysis” & “Observation Techniques.”
 DEA, LAN Airlines, FHP (Florida Highway Patrol), ASP (Arkansas
State Patrol), Caribbean Airlines, Caribbean, Central and South Ameri-
can Customs, Immigration and Police Agencies, Panama’s Tocumen
S.A. Airport Security as well as many other foreign & domestic law
enforcement agencies, have received this type of training in order to
refine the Officer’s ability to assess a person’s behavior during a Cus-
toms Inspection, Vehicle Stop, Interview and Interrogation process to
determine the appropriate action o be taken.

Praise for Prospero Ellis
“Since July 1980 to 1992, you have been responsible for the
seizure of cocaine, marijuana and heroin with a current street
value of 73 million dollars. A truly remarkable individual
accomplishment” — William von Raab, Commissioner of
Customs, Washington DC D.C.
You Need Teachable & Usable
Field Tested Techniques!
 Using Observational Techniques and Behavior Analysis,
 Prospero Ellis effected the first detection and apprehension of a
“Cocaine Swallower” in US Customs history in 1979.
 Personally intercepted more than three and a half tons of co-
caine, heroin, marijuana, hashish, hash oil and other banned
substances with an estimated street value in excess of 500 mil-
lion — a record no other law enforcement official has yet come
close to matching.
 Upon his retirement in 1996 from US Customs, he founded
Rovertech International Inc., to provide Observational Tech-
niques and Behavior Analysis training to law enforcement
agencies. He has successfully trained numerous law enforce-
ment agencies (Customs, Immigration, Specialized Security
Teams), as well as local and state police department officials
throughout the U.S., Canada, the Caribbean, Central and South
America.

deceptive behavior thru Observational Techniques and Be-
havior Analysis Systems, that minute percentage of depart-
ing passengers that need to be taken a second look at, prior

Cruise Ship Lines - Security Screeners -
Security Screeners - Observe and assess passengers behav-
ior and demeanors as they initially board the cruise ship and
every time thereafter as they re-board at each port of call in
order to ascertain as what they could be concealing in their
